give me a break, i didn't realize that i was on a messge board with jesus (none of you guys ever killed an ant, roach,mouse these are all of gods creatures too,did you catch them and let them go? give them away? oh you mean you just stepped on them, or caught them in a neck breaking, eyes buldging trap, thats what i thought), you all must be perfect, a rock would not have fallen on my clown fish, and killed it, he stays(or at least he did) at the top of the water and when i was chasing the star to catch him, he spit out part of the blenny,(so do not tell me that he they will not eat just part of a fish), i did not take the star out until i got home from work, i had saw what had happened in the moring when i hade gotten up, and i couldn't do anything about it until i got home at night, i had called my local fs to see if i could give him to them, and he said no he had one that ate fish before, and he had a hard time getting rid of it (he is very honest with his customers) i didn't have another tank to put him in, and i don't know anyone that has salt tanks, everyone i know has fw tanks, and since he killed my other fish at night i didn't want him to kill my other clowns, so i got rid of him the only way i knew how to do and yes it broke my heart to just flush him, and yes i cried when i had to do it, so don't get all holier than thou on me, i feel bad enough, but lets face we (all of us on this message board) does not know everything about saltwater fish and we never will, just because you had good experiences with a fish, dosn't mean that the next person will, so before you start slamming someone as most(not all,some of you guys are nice hardworking adults, doing the best you can, not sitting on a messsage board acting like children because they have nothing better to do)of you do take a moment to consider that maybe that was the best that, that person could do at the time to keep alive the innocent victims that was left in the tank.
and by the way since he is gone, my tank has been perfect, and the fish i have left have finally started to come out from hiding in the rocks, which is where they have been since the first fish had got eaten.
i sorry if i offended you by flushing him, but it offended me as well, it was the only solution i could come up with at 10pm
